Aren't you supposed to weed the stencil so the white shows through?
I wanted the horse in gloss to see what it would look like over matte black. I’ve also though of putting it under the vinyl next time I do the stripe so it is embossed. Looking for a subtle accent, not a bold logo

Is it just my eyeballs or is the end of the stripe not symmetrical? Where it starts to taper in.
To me, the stripe looks like a giant tongue depressor. If it were my car, I wouldn't shape the front of the stripe. Just run it all the way out to the grill. You can still do the pony where you have it and I think it would look awesome.
Forgive my terrible photo editing skills but this is what I was thinking:

That's very funny cause I thought of a giant tongue myself. Looks way better in this picture.

Piked up a new term reading this thread "weed the stripe", inside baseball I assume.

Picked up the RTR heat extractors, from my painter.

Setting them out, let them cure, install in a month or so.

I like your stripe. And I think it would look great if you can have the horse imbossed in the strip like you described.

I got the yearly oil change yesterday at a Ford dealer. Used my Ford-Pass Points: 10 quarts full synthetic 5W20 = $110.
I only drove 3500 miles in the last 12 months (working from home).

Stock are pretty worthless, they weigh a few ounces and the magnets are about the size of a quarter. Replace them and they sound great.
Yep, that is what I am fixing to go drop the car off for. Getting JL audio component speakers inside the cabin, and a punch 1000 amp. I doubt removing them really helps with bass by leaving a hole, put some nice 2 ways in there instead.

Looks like I won't get the car back until tomorrow. They are going to try and do something custom for the amp rack in the spare tire hole, so if it looks good I'll drop some pics. Punch amp birth sheet was 1271watts, so peak 175/channel to components and 500+ to 12" sub. Looks like my steeda shift knob and pop trunk kit are arriving today.

I'll take some pics as well, working on a custom amp rack now. Just installed the custom aero ported 12" sub enclosure I finished making yesterday. Shit is loud and that is only on 400 watts. 2.5 ft3 net airspace and a 10.5" precision port aeroport, brought the sub to life beyond my expectations. The box barely fit into the trunk, I had to remove the floor and it went in. It's about 20" wide, 26" deep and 14.75 high.

I got the Steeda H pipe installed and some ultra light jacking rails. I didn’t think the H pipe would’ve made too much difference, but dang was I wrong. This thing is loud. It’s perfect.

It is a little raspy in track mode but I can only imagine how it’s with the X pipe. Either way, money well spent.

I love how the front end wants to get up and walk off on that dyno!

Installed Steeda trunk pop struts, should have come from the factory that way... Amp and component speakers installed and look great. Went ahead and ordered the JL stealth sub today, it is loud but def needs a subwoofer.
